Varsity Lakes Real Estate: Education-Driven Demand
Why is Varsity Lakes a high-demand suburb in 2025?
Varsity Lakes continues to be one of the Gold Coast’s most in-demand suburbs, particularly due to its proximity to leading education providers, modern housing options, and strong rental performance.
The suburb is anchored by Bond University, one of Australia's top private universities, drawing international students, academics, and high-income professionals. Surrounding the campus are residential precincts designed for walkability, lifestyle, and long-term living.
